TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an internet-of-things transmissiontechnology, and particularly the present disclosure relates to aninternet-of-things information system.

BACKGROUND ART

Internet of things (IOT) is a significant component of the informationtechnology of the new generation, and also represents an importantdevelopment stage in the “informatization” era. It is now generallybelieved that Internet of things is an internet where objects are linkedtogether and is an upgraded internet resulted from internet development.There are two meanings behind it. First, internet is still the core andbase for Internet of things which is a network extended and expanded onthe basis of internet. Second, its user terminal extends and expandsamong any objects for information exchange and communication, meaningthat objects are linked together.

Currently, one of the most commonly used architecture of Internet ofthings is three-layer architecture wherein the Internet of things isdivided into three layers, including a perception and control layer, anetwork transmission layer and an application service layer.

By analysis, we found that the architectures included in the referenceframework are all functional structures of Internet-of-things products.Different classifications by functions result in different structures,and for different countries, different industries and differentorganizations, different Internet-of-Things architectures may beprovided. Functional structures of Internet-of-things products inessence reflect the functions of Internet-of-things information, but donot show the common features of Internet-of-things information systems.

State Intellectual Property Office of China published on Nov. 7, 2012 apatent for invention (Publication No.: CN102769635A), entitled “AnInternet of Things System and the Implementation Method of the Same”.This patent for invention includes a perception and control layer, atransmission layer and an application layer. The implementation methodthereof includes the following steps: a user logging in theInternet-of-things system via an Internet-of-things browser by a useraccount and entering in an address bar the registered domain name of acertain perception and control component under his/her administration;the domain server analyzing the above registered domain name and theInternet-of-things browser loading the physical page (object page)corresponding to the perception and control component; theInternet-of-things browser loading corresponding quantum objects from aquantum piece server according to the physical page elements on thecorresponding physical page; the perception module timely acquiringperception information which is sent to the Internet-of-things browservia the transmission layer; the Internet-of-things browser processingthe perception information by the respective quantum objects; and theInternet-of-things browser timely displaying the perception informationprocessed by the quantum objects.

As can be seen, the Internet of things currently widely applied tovarious fields primarily consists of a perception layer, a transmissionlayer and an application layer.
